Applying for Admission to the Nursing Program
Admission to the Nursing Program is based on student’s highest combined Assessment Technologies, Inc (ATI) entrance exam points and most recent cumulative GPAs. The two ATI entrance exams are the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) and ATI Critical Thinking Entrance exams. The two exams are given via an online format twice per year in October and February. Prospective students should contact the Miles Community College Nursing Office for more information on how to register to take the exams. The deadline for registering to take the exams is three working days prior to the exam date. The approximate cost of the two exams is $48.00. The TEAS Entrance Exam is a 150 item, four-option, multiple-choice exam covering reading, math, science and English language usage. The ATI Critical Thinking Entrance Exam is a 40 item exam. Students may take each ATI exam a maximum of two times per academic year. ATI exam points are considered valid for one year only. Therefore, if not accepted into the Nursing Program, students will need to retake the exams in order to be considered for admission to the next year’s class. The student’s highest exam scores will be utilized for admission purposes. In case of tied scores students shall be selected according to the highest GPA. TEAS study materials are available at the ATI website, (www.atitesting.com) and in the Miles Community College library.
Admission to the Nursing Program is limited to 30 students each
year at the Miles City site, eight in Glendive in even numbered
years and eight in Sidney in odd numbered years. Students will
be asked to designate their preferred site location when
applying for admission. Admission of freshman students occurs
only once per school year in April for the following Fall
semester. Therefore, all required documents, including all
official transcripts, must be submitted by March 15th for
consideration for admission into the Nursing Program the
following fall.
